An investigative report by the Mexican paper El Universal finds that since at least
2000, the CIA has been working with the Sinaloa drug cartel, allowing them to
smuggle billions of dollars worth of drugs into the U.S. in exchange for
information on the activities of other drug cartels.
Mmmm. Let me get this straight. Instead of taking down one
of Mexico’s largest drug operations, we allow them to conduct business as usual
in exchange for information on their
competitors. Makes total sense. U.S. taxpayers are spending billions of
dollars every year for a war on drugs, but billions of dollars worth of drugs
are being allowed into this country in an arrangement that makes the Sinaloa
cartel stronger than ever.
Please, make the insanity stop. Our taxes are going to pay
for this lunacy. Think of the things the trillions of dollars spent on the drug
war over the past 40 years could have gone to – scientific research,
strengthening public education, technological advances, much needed repairs to
the countries roads and bridges, and much more. Instead it’s been dumped down a
black hole that eventually ends up lining the pockets of criminals.
Make some noise. Write to your representatives and tell them
to end the war on drugs. The sooner the better.
